Chapter 124 - The demon’s bite

The days followed, and the nights brought their fair share of horrors for the Rosebudians. The marks on the dead bodies were not evident enough to prove that a human's hand murdered the soldiers, victims of this terrible fate, the lack of witnesses, and the state of fear the survivors were in were not helping. The bodies were found every morning mutilated with traces of claws and antlers, provoking nightmares and paranoia in the remaining troops.
